No person shall initially connect any water pipes to the city waterworks system or thereafter, repair, abandon or disconnect the same unless such person is a qualified licensed plumber or a person employing a qualified licensed plumber and has first obtained a water permit for the same from the City Clerk. The city will issue a permit for installation of a water service from the water meter pit to the building or structure. The work authorized by a permit application shall be started within six months from the date of permit. After six months, the permit will be voided and must reapply for a new permit. As part of the permit for a new service hookup to the system, the property owner must provide the city with the legal description of the property to be served and proposed hookup location and/or any multiple services to the premises. Legal descriptions will not be required for repairs provided replacement remains as original service line.
